#yfm fandom

Warning: Super long post (lol)

I could just say that it faded, but I'm trying my best not to abandon this interest. I started liking it more than a year ago, and... Based on my gallery at least, I became really obsessed with it in late 2024 and early to mid 2025.

Now, into the important stuff. Their last song released was Real Girl, in May 2024 (we won't talk about that time when YouTube mixed it up the other YFM). Now, it's autumn of 2025, so that's way over a year. After that, they released a few shorts, their last short being posted in 2024 december, then they disappeared completely. Also, I don't have/don't want to get Instagram, so if anything interesting is going on there that I don't know about, please let me know in the comments or smth.

Okay, I know that they have liked more recent comments on Real Girl, one of them being "We need a part 2 to this saga", which makes me kinda concerned, because it didn't really go well when they made a part 2 to a song the first time, and it's also kind of lazy.

But we know Ray. Now he makes true crime videos with ai visuals (and could possibly be reading ai summaries too), which is not just unoriginal, lazy and greedy, but it's destroying the planet as well (if you don't know why, look it up, I'm not getting into that rn).

Sure. We have talented artists and really enthusiastic and friendly people in this fandom who love to talk about their interest and share their creations. And since we're a small fandom, we're kinda like a family. We can find eachother in comments of totally unrelated YouTube videos. But that's about it. Yfm (for now) is over, and a small fan base remains.

Depending on when you find this post, this might age horribly, but right now, things aren't really going well. The only thing that's keeping me interested in this are my headcanons and daydreams about fanfics (especially about Benapuff). The characters aren't developed well (they're barely even characters imo), and we can only rely on our ideas and beliefs about them, but then we just have to wonder, what are the actual characters like?

I want to love Yfm. I don't want to let go, and I'd like to stay, but...

How can you love something that doesn't love you back? How can you love it if it's basically over?

Dude, I love Your Favorite Martian! Their songs are SO good. I also love YFMTS as well. I've always had a great admiration for Puff Puff Humbert, Benatar, DeeJay and Axel Chains.

I'll be honest, I did watch YFMTS as much as I did with Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, but YFM was practically popular in the 2020s decade.

It's 2023, and, in my opinion, I've realized we have great cartoons. And we have GOD-AWFUL ones. This is what inspired those good cartoons today. And then there are those bad cartoons…

Dead End: Yes. Bee and Puppycat: Yes. The Midnight Gospel: Yes. Super Fuckers: Yes. Bravest Warriors: Hell yes. Adventure Time: OH, HELL YES!

Pickle and Peanut: No. Pig, Goat, Banana, Cricket: No. Future Worm: No. Penn Zero: No. The Amazing World of Gumball: Hell no. Teen Titans Go: FUCKING HELL NO!

God, I wish that a whole lot of other cartoonists could make better cartoons than that!

And the Peanuts series was one of those cartoons I watched when I was very, very little. I'm talking about the Peanuts animated specials, not The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show. That was a money-waster. I'm sorry.
